▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB21 plastic bearings is 0.8N/mm2×m/s which determines the load capacity of bearing is inversely proportional to the speed. Please refer to the chart for more detailed information (Graph EPB21-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB21 allows the Max static load of 80Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB21-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 80Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.5m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 200℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB21-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Friction factor will be slightly decreased along with the speed increasing under certain loading of the rotation operation (see Graph EPB21-4) and it will be slightly decreased along with the loading increasing under certain speed of the rotation operation especially when the loading is less than 30Mpa. Graph EPB21-5 tells that the friction of the CSB-EPB21 is not changed at all when the shaft roughness is between Ra0.3 to Ra0.4 and will be considerably increased when the shaft roughness is over Ra0.4. So the recommended shaft roughness is Ra0.3-Ra0.4.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB21-7 and EPB21-8 shows that CSB-EPB21 is suitable for most of the shaft materials under rotation operation and it is good for stainless steel shaft under high loading rotation operation (see Graph EPB21-8). CSB-EPB21 is suitable for oscillation operation, Stainless steel shaft and hardened aluminum shaft is suitable for the bearing under rotation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
The Chemical Resistance of CSB-EPB21 is fairly good against most of Acid and Alkalis.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB21 plastic plain bearings is 0.1% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 0.3% in water . These values are very low, CSB-EPB21 plastic palin bearings is very well suited for used in wet applications.

▊ UV resistance
Disintegration could be possible for the material CSB-EPB21 after long period of exposing under the UV ray and therefore the compressive strength will be reduced.
